Kimonojacket: thank you for this , I am recovering from a bad motorbike accident, in thailand. This is what I needed, I also was wondering about hip/ pelvic re allignment exersises? I believe I thrown my hip joints out of line due to over compensating for the weak left knee ligaments. any help would be greatly appriciated mahalo.
Manu: I would recommend you bracing that knee using a brace or ace bandage. Your pelvis might be out of alignment, could be the injury to the hip and/or the low back too. Remember your low back and sacro-iliac joint can refer pain to the hips too. Get the pelvis re-aligned first and use some crutches to unload the hip/pelvis. Get some acupressure massage and acupuncture too if you are able. Wear a brace around the hips/low back to provide some compression and support.
Massage your whole body regularly with warm sesame oil to strengthen the body and promote circulation and lymphatic flow. Can also heat some dry ginger + ajwain (wild celery seeds) + Saindava Namak (mineral salt) in 1/2 part Sesame Oil + 1/2 part Castor oil and massage affected/injure parts with this herbal oil preparation.
Use warm compress or heat on the affected parts after massaging to promote circulation for healing and facilitate removal of post injury metabolites. Will also help with stiffness and pain.
Ayurvedic herbal compounds with Guggulu, Shilajeet, Ashwagandha, Musta, Bala, Triphala can be very helpful for helping heal, strengthen the musculo-skeletal, nervous and digestive systems. In addition these herbs will help all systems of the body needed for optimal health.
